Collard greens are the best, IMO

[citrusdragon]

We use chopped collard greens for our dragons because of the nutritional content, and the thickness of the leaves doesn't dry out fast like other greens.

Ringing the dinner bell is too fun to watch

Yes Jeff, I would have to agree with you on the collards, but unfortunately my beardie does like mustard greens also. So I have to switch it up for her. The collards do stay fresher longer in the viv.

P.S. Where can I get a plate like that ??? :lol:

As soon as I put them in, he jumps down and chows.

Some places I can get them at Vallarta Market for 50 cents.

But average is 99 cents to 1.29 per bushel

Wow....$2.50 for collards!!! Are you getting the fresh ones in a bundle or the ones that are cut and pre-packaged?

I use a mix of mustard greens, collard, and some cilantro.

Those are some dam goodlooking lizards right there! We don't really touch on it that much here in the feeder forum but Beardies really need a good diet of fruits and vegetables to thrive. All the Dubia, crix and mealies can't replace a good dish of collared greens and some fruit for a Bearded Dragon. I'm totally flawed by how many beginners to the hobby don't realize this about these lizards. This is a great post and shows exactly what a well balanced diet can achieve. Again great looking Dragons!

I must agree with Ian........Jeff that is a beautiful clutch. :love5:
I love to watch babies attack their salads. :lol: Such vicious little killers! :laughing6:
An yes a good variety of greens is really a must for beardies. Most don't even realize that their diet should consist of 2 to 3 dark leafy greens perday. My beardies all love the Collard Greens, assorted Chard, and Mustard Greens.

Again nice babies Jeff! :wink:

I agree the plates pretty but the decorations running around on it are much nicer I bet they dont have those in the clearence section at walmart!They certainly are digging those collards.Mine like collards as well but unfortunately for me they seem to love the things that arent as good for them more like kale,oranges,etc.They just dont want to make my life easy :wink:
